Chapter 361 Mosquitoes Are Small And Meat

Zhang Shisan is the first person in China to participate in box office dividends as a screenwriter.

But he's definitely not the last.

However, if he wants to have such a high box office dividend, I am afraid the possibility is very low.

Maybe not at all.

After all, the box office of the works written by Zhang Shisan is there.

Not to mention domestic, I am afraid that those famous screenwriters in Hollywood can only hold a candle to them.

Prolific, and every box office high.

Zhang Yu may not be the screenwriter with the most works, but he definitely has the highest cumulative box office.

Perhaps before long, he will be the most.

Five films last year, more the year before.

What's more, not everyone can achieve high box office.

After all, Zhang Yu and Yang Ruoxue didn't stay in their hometown for long.

In addition to work reasons, there are also considerations for children.

Zhang Yu was actually quite busy with work, and after Yang Ruoxue came back, there were many things that followed her.

What's more, both of them are restless people.

The two returned to Zhonghai, and the peak movie viewing period during the Spring Festival has passed.

The box office of "Shuimen Bridge of Changjin Lake" exceeded [-] billion in a week.

However, once the peak movie viewing period is over, the single-day box office will naturally decline.

Five billion may be broken, but as speculated on the Internet, if you want to surpass the first one, I am afraid it is unlikely.

After the seventh day of the lunar new year, many companies have resumed work.

Thirteen Film and Television is naturally so.

In fact, holidays in the film and television industry are actually uncertain.

The busiest time for many celebrities and entertainers is actually the holidays.

"Sister Hua, do you want to fight like this? Don't you take a break for the New Year's Eve?"

Zhang Yu looked at Wang Mei.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Wang Mei came to him.

Probably guarding him.

"You young people work so hard. If we don't work hard, won't we be eliminated by the times?" Wang Mei said with a smile, "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves before die on the beach! Get eliminated that early."

Eliminate it?
Obviously not.

Wang Mei sits firmly in the top position of Wansheng Film and Television.

Wansheng Group is very satisfied with her work.

If Thirteen Film and Television is the most profitable film and television company, then Wansheng Film and Television is the second.

For Zhang Yu's movies, Wansheng Film and Television is basically the second largest investor.

"Aren't those who celebrate the new year afraid of being unlucky?" Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

"Ruoxue is going to come back?" Wang Mei asked, "Are you going to release an album this year?"

"Ok!"

Zhang Yu nodded. If it was the media, he would say that it was not a comeback, but just an increase in workload.

In front of Wang Mei, there is no need to be so fake.

It's just that he was very puzzled, Wang Mei's purpose for asking this question.

Artists under Wansheng Film and Television include singers, but like Thirteen Film and Television, they focus on film and television.

What's more, Wang Mei would not invite her to sing for her artists now.

Both of them have different identities.

"Very good!" Wang Mei nodded and said, "I'm looking for you this time because of something you said in the "Legend" program."

What was said in the "Legend" program?
Is it something about the movie world?

Now that there is no horoscope, is it too early to talk about this?

Or not for that, but for his going to Hollywood.

She is here to help Dream Films to find out.

After all, Thirteen Film and Television wanted to acquire a certain Hollywood film and television company, so it was impossible for Dream Films to not know about such a movement.

Zhang Yu's going to Hollywood is obviously related to Thirteen Film and Television's acquisition of Hollywood Film and Television Company.

"What?" Zhang Yu asked.

"'Journey to the West Movie World', 'Fengshen Movie World'!" Wang Mei said, "Is Shisan Film and Television interested in these two movie worlds, and will they do it?"

"Wansheng Film and Television wants to create these two movie worlds?" Zhang Yu looked at Wang Mei in surprise.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention!
Zhang Yu just said that casually at the time, but he really didn't expect Wansheng Film and Television to come up with such an idea.

Perhaps, not only Wansheng Film and Television, but also many domestic companies have thought about it.

In "Legend", Zhang Yu's words are obviously not that he is not optimistic about these two movie worlds, but that he is not optimistic about the foreign box office of these two worlds.

"Director Jiang has some ideas." Wang Mei said, "Wansheng Film and Television has no ability to create a movie world by itself, but we can still try to create a Chinese mythology movie world based on "Feng Shen Bang" and "Journey to the West". "

try?

Obviously, Wansheng Film and Television did not have much confidence.

Who is sure?

However, if it is done, the profit in it may be extremely huge.

Even if it is difficult for this movie world to go abroad.

"Thirteen Film and Television has no plans in this regard." Zhang Yu said.

The risk is not small, and the return may not be so good.

Instead of doing "Journey to the West" and "World of Conferred Gods", why not expand the "Marvel Movie Universe"?

Those are enough for Zhang Yu to be busy.

Of course, if he has energy in the future, Zhang Yu doesn't mind creating a "prehistoric world".

"No animated movies?" Wang Mei asked.

This matter needs to be clarified.

They spend time, energy and money to do this, and it turns out that Thirteen Film and Television is also doing it.

In contrast, wouldn't the risk be greater.

Relatively speaking, animated movies are obviously easier than live-action movies.

It wasn't that Wang Mei spoiled her own prestige by taking others' ambitions away, it was Zhang Shisan who was too powerful.

Moreover, the idea of ​​this kind of movie world was proposed by him.

Relatively speaking, there must be more mature ideas.

Can't compare!
Many things are good at first, but compared with others, they are nothing.

Wang Mei didn't want such a thing to happen.

"Don't worry! The plan on the animation film will definitely not be considered within ten years." Zhang Yu said, "I probably won't consider it either."

As for cartoons and TV series?
Of course there is no need to think about it.

Obviously it is not suitable to make a "world".

"Really?" Wang Mei was a little surprised.

Zhang Yu would not know the profit here.

Movies are risky, but what about animated movies?

"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" has obviously laid the foundation for these two movie worlds.

"The animation films of Thirteen Film and Television will target the international market," Zhang Yu said.

It's not that Thirteen's film and television animation department has no films to shoot.

"Despicable Me", which will be released in summer, is originally a series of movies, and it also extends the "Minions" series.

If it is successful, then Thirteen Film and Television will have two animation film series.

In addition, there are many series of animations such as "Ice Age" and "How to Train Your Dragon".

Which is not the box office high?
In addition, although animated films such as "Robot Story", "Zootopia" and "The Lion King" are not series films, their box office is also very amazing.

Isn't this enough for the thirteen film and television animation department to be busy?

Zhang Yu chose to shoot "Despicable Me" first, perhaps without considering the peripheral products of the film.

"It seems that you are really not optimistic about the overseas box office of 'Journey to the West Movie World' and 'Fengshen Movie World'!" Wang Mei looked at Zhang Yu and said with a little sigh.

Zhang Yu's eyes are no longer limited to the country.

However, Shisan Film and Television did not like it, but Wansheng Film and Television did.

Wansheng Film and Television is backed by Wansheng Group, with strong funds and a high starting point, but now it is difficult to compare with Thirteen Film and Television.

Perhaps, there is no domestic film and television company that can compare with it.

"If you look at the foreign box office of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", wouldn't it be clear at a glance?" Zhang Yu said, "However, it's just a family opinion. When the movie "Nezha" was first made, it was true that the foreign market was not considered. "

"You don't even have confidence, who else has confidence?" Wang Mei smiled and said, "However, if the domestic box office can be achieved, it will be very good."

Zhang Shisan is not limited to the domestic market, but how many people in China can go abroad like him?

Whether it is "Journey to the West" or "Fengshen", it is well-known in China.

If it is done, the profit inside is indeed good.

Zhang Yu also agrees with this.

I just want to do it, I'm afraid it's really not that easy.

A movie or two flopped, maybe not much of a problem.

At most, one or two "protagonists" are marginalized.

Isn't the Hulk of the Marvel movie just because the independent movie didn't hold up, and eventually became a supporting role in Marvel?
But after all, this kind of movie is linked one by one, and if there is a problem with one movie, it may collapse.

However, this has nothing to do with Zhang Shisan.

"Is Thirteen Film and Television interested in participating?" Wang Mei looked at Zhang Yu and asked.

This is actually a temptation.

She looked to see Zhang Shisan's opinion on this project.

"The company has a lot of projects, so it's inevitable that the staff will be stretched." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "As for the investment, if there is no problem with the funds, it's fine. However, Sister Hua should know that Thirteen Film and Television has several major productions now, and there are I'm talking with Hollywood film and television companies about acquisitions. If the investment is too large, I'm afraid it will be a little bit powerless."

Wang Mei nodded.

Of course he knew.

TV series, big online movies, and some low-cost movies, let’s not talk about these.

Thirteen Film and Television now has several major productions.

Xu Sen's "Transformers 2" is still busy with post-production, and Ning Yuan's "National Day" is about to start. Chen Shan's "Pirate" and Zhang Hang's "Godzilla" are currently in preparation, and it is estimated that they will start this year.

In addition, Zhang Yu's new film is also in preparation.

It is said that his film has broken the investment and production cost record of a Chinese-language film.

Is Thirteen Film and Television rich?
Have!
How could the most profitable film and television company in the country have no money.

The cumulative box office of the five films last year was more than [-] billion.

Although the investment is high, the profitability is also amazing.

This is not counting foreign box office profits and so on.

The income is high and the expenditure is not small.

Leaving aside investments such as film and television, Thirteen Film and Television has also invested heavily in theaters.

What's more, the company still has so many people to support.

Thirteen Film and Television's salary is almost the best in the industry.

Of course, those are just small heads.

Thirteen Film and Television is preparing to acquire an upper-middle film and television company in Hollywood.

Still saving money.

I am afraid that Thirteen Film and Television's funds alone may not be able to support it.

These made the funds of Thirteen Film and Television a little tight.

Zhang Yu was telling the truth, but Wang Mei also heard that he was not very optimistic about this project.

Perhaps not because of the risk, but because of the profit.

He didn't look at the profit of this project.

Come to think of it, if you invest less, that's fine.

If the investment is large, forget it!
Because of that little profit, if the risk is high, it is not worth it.

"What you said made my confidence collapse." Wang Mei said with a wry smile.

"Sister Hua, what movie is safe now?" Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

"Your movie!" Wang Mei blurted out.

Movie risks are indeed not small.

A good filmmaker can reduce this risk, but it cannot completely eliminate it.

Wang Mei also has good eyesight.

"My film is also risky, and the risk is very high." Zhang Yu said, "If it fails, it will be a huge loss."

The bigger the investment, the more you will lose if you fall.

"You will fall?" Wang Mei shook her head and said.

Movies have risks, how could Wang Mei not know.

Is Zhang Shisan an exception?
At least since his debut, he really hasn't lost money.

And almost all of them make a lot of money.

"Who can guarantee it?" Zhang Yu said.

Indeed no one can guarantee.

Maybe Zhang Shisan will fall when he makes his next movie.

Wang Mei obviously still had some sense, and she didn't trust Zhang Yu as blindly as others.

However, relatively speaking, Zhang Yu's film risk is undoubtedly smaller.

What kind of risk is that risk for investors?
After all, there is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in this world.

"You are more sober than everyone else!" Wang Mei looked at Zhang Yu and said with a sigh, "Perhaps, this is also the most important factor for your success."

If it were another person, as successful as Zhang Yu, I'm afraid I don't know how inflated it is.

Zhang Yu smiled.

Perhaps only he himself knows that the reason why he is not inflated, apart from the relationship between heart and nature, is probably a large part of the reason because he is just a porter.

What sense of accomplishment can a porter have?

The sense of accomplishment is still not great, how to expand?

With Wang Mei gone, Wansheng Film and Television will obviously not lose confidence because Zhang Yu will not invest too much and give up this project.

What's more, Wansheng Film and Television dominates, and Thirteen Film and Television wants to increase investment, I'm afraid they may not be willing.

"Really vote?"

Fang Zhengxian looked at Zhang Yu and asked.

Whether it is "Journey to the West Movie World" or "Fengshen Movie World", he and Zhang Yu have discussed it before, and also discussed it years ago.

I can't say how unfavorable it is, but for Thirteen Film and Television, it is inevitable that it is a bit thankless.

"Isn't it worth voting for?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"It depends on how to measure it." Fang Zhengxian said.

Is there any risk?

Have.

But the risk is worth the investment.

It's just that the risks and profits are difficult to compare with other films.

"It's not a big investment. If Wansheng Film and Television makes it, at least you can drink some soup along with it." Zhang Yu said, "Even if the soup doesn't taste very good, don't you want it for nothing?"

"Mosquitoes are small but also meat!"

Zhang Yu continued.

"You're not afraid that it's a huge pit!" Fang Zhengxian said.

"If the first movie fails, the movie world is just a joke." Zhang Yu continued.

The first tentative investment.

Lost, it doesn't matter.

Thirteen Film and Television can still afford to pay.

What if you earn it?
Then keep investing.

It's a bit like getting in the car first to occupy a seat.

Just like "Changjin Lake", although many film and television companies are not optimistic, they still invested.

It's not for this movie, but Zhang Shisan's other movies.

If you lose money, we will follow you.

To make money, you can't take us, right?

It's just that they didn't expect that "Changjin Lake" would make them a lot of money.
